About Our Logo

Our logo for all organizations belonging to our Arab-West Report is based on two letters, the Arabic ع ('aīn) and the Latin 'w'. The suggestion for this logo was proposed in 2005 by the Egyptian artist Farid Fadel, a friend of Arab-West Report. The 'aīn is the first letter of the word Arab. The W is the first letter of the word West. The 'aīn is a very unique letter in the Arabic alphabet and thus a good representation for the Arabic world. The 'aīn is also the first letter of the Arabic word 'eye', a word reflecting that we should have an eye for each other.

The partners of the Arab-West Foundation are:
